Can natural conception occur day before egg retrieval

Hi..I had unprotected sex the day before egg retrieval ans managed to have a successful IVF embryo day 5 transfer that resulted in a pregnancy....is there any way this pregnancy could have resulted through natural conception or was it definitely achieved through the embryo transfer
Thanks
